Monty Kothiwale: Scaling Software Quality with AI Agents

Monty Kothiwale is a founder at the forefront of AI-powered software testing. As the creator of QA Solve, hes building a platform that automates over 80% of quality assurance tasks using self-healing technology, computer vision, and natural language processing. His mission: make software quality fast, scalable, and founder-friendly.

From CTO to Founder

With a background as CTO of three successful product companies and five patents in progress, Monty brings deep technical expertise to the challenge of modern QA. His journey began with statistical machine learning models in banking and credit underwriting, but the arrival of large language models (LLMs) changed everything. "Whatever we were doing, we could now do 10x faster," he said.

Building for Velocity, Not Just Efficiency

QA Solve started with a bold promise: reduce headcount through automation. But Monty quickly realized that the real value was in increasing productivity. His platform helps engineering teams match the speed of LLM-assisted development, enabling QA to keep pace with rapidly evolving codebases.

"Developers have moved ahead with AI. QA is struggling to catch up."

By shifting left and embedding AI into the testing process, QA Solve improves the velocity and robustness of entire engineering teams.

Multi-Agent Architecture with Human-in-the-Loop

QA Solve uses a multi-agent system that mimics an intelligent intern exploring an app. It builds a digital twin of the software using LLMs and knowledge graphs, then generates deterministic, rule-based test cases. Human-in-the-loop validation ensures accuracy and eliminates hallucinationsa critical feature for enterprise clients in healthcare and finance.

Navigating the B2B Landscape

Montys biggest challenge? Selling to teams that fear being replaced by the very tools he offers. Hes learned to shift his messaging from cost-cutting to productivity enhancement, and to focus on mid-level engineering managers rather than CXOs. QA Solve is now a managed service, with plans to evolve into a self-serve product.

Visibility Is the Next Frontier

Despite strong product-market fit and high conversion rates, Monty acknowledges that visibility is a hurdle. Founder-led marketing, especially on LinkedIn, is a powerful but underutilized tool. As Jackie Domanus noted during their Idea Citizen conversation, "You dont have a product problem. You have a visibility problem."

Final Thought: AI Is HereAdopt Early

Montys advice to other founders is simple: AI is already embedded in everything we do. Whether youre in software or not, the time to adopt is now. QA Solve offers a non-intrusive way to try AI, measure its impact, and scale intelligently.
